System and Method For Managing Configuration In Exchange System

The present invention relates to a shape management system and method in an exchange system, and more particularly, to a shape management system and method in an exchange system in which the shape management unit inside the exchange system automatically manages the shape change using the shape information.

In general, a shape in an exchange system can be classified into a physical shape and a logical shape. The physical shape refers to a hardware shape and the logical shape refers to a database in software. It means the shape managed through.

Conventionally, to add or delete a new shape physically to the exchange system to manage the shape, the operator commands the user to logically add or delete the desired shape by using MMC (Man Machine Communication). Could manage.

Therefore, when a new shape is to be physically added to an exchange system, a parameter value corresponding to a new shape to be added by selecting an MMC that allows an operator to add a desired shape on a HMI (Human Machine Interface) ), The configuration manager receives the command and logically adds the desired shape according to the input value.

In addition, when physically deleting an existing shape from the exchange system, the operator selects an MMC that can delete the desired shape on the HMI and inputs a parameter value corresponding to the existing shape to receive the command from the configuration manager. According to the input value, the operator logically deleted the desired shape.

Therefore, conventionally, the operator has to execute a command to change the shape of the shape, add or delete the shape. Therefore, when physically adding a new shape to the exchange system, the operator does not add the shape logically using the MMC. The shape could not be included in the operation, the operator must know all the information about the newly added shape in advance, and the addition of the shape could not be performed normally if the correct information was not entered at the time of executing the command.

In addition, when the existing shape is physically deleted from the exchange system, the operator must logically delete the shape by using the MMC and it is not deleted by physically removing the shape from the exchange system.

Therefore, there has been a problem that the operator must always match the physical shape and the logical shape by using the MMC in order to change the shape.

The present invention is to solve the above problems, the shape management unit inside the exchange system by storing the shape information about the shape change in the shape management DB automatically manages the shape change, when there is a physical shape change Its purpose is to make logical shape changes automatically.

The result of the processing is output to the status message window 450.

Hereinafter, a shape management method in an exchange system according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 3.

First, the shape management unit 130 sets the shape management area 150 for storing shape information in the register unit 140 of the main processor 130 (step S301).

Here, the shape information refers to information on board removal such as whether the board is unmounted, the location information of the board, the board is unmounted, the type and characteristics of the board mounted, and the shape management area 150 includes: An area of the register unit 140 that stores shape information, and includes a register address and position information indicating position of a board mounted in one-to-one correspondence with each slot of the exchange system 1 ( In the slot corresponding to the register address of 1), it is made up of a register value which is information of mounting and dismounting of a board and the type and characteristics of the board.

The shape manager 130 sets a master board 210 for detecting and collecting shape information about a plurality of boards mounted on the master shelf 20 (step S302).

Accordingly, the shape management unit 130 collects shape information of a plurality of boards mounted on the main processor self 10 through the main processor back board 100 to form the shape management area 150 of the register unit 140. (Step S303).

In addition, the shape management unit 130 collects the shape information for a plurality of boards mounted on the master self 20 through the master back board 200 to use the cable 300 of the register unit 140. It stores in the shape management area 150 (step S304).

The shape management unit 130 periodically checks the shape information stored in the shape management area to determine whether the shape has been changed, updates the shape management DB, and outputs the processing result to the status message window. (Step S305).

Hereinafter, the shape information update process will be described with reference to FIG. 4.

First, the shape management unit 130 initializes the variable when the exchange system 1 is started (step S401), and periodically reads the shape management area 150 of the register unit 140 to obtain shape information about the board. (Step S402).

Thus, the shape management unit 130 checks the shape information on the obtained board (step S403), and determines whether or not the shape of the exchange system is changed (step S404).

Here, whether or not the shape is changed may be determined according to whether or not the register value is changed in the obtained shape information about the board.

In this case, when there is no shape change, that is, when the register value of the shape information on the obtained board coincides with the register value acquired by the shape manager 130 reading the shape management area 150. In step S402, the shape management unit 130 reads the shape management area 150 of the register unit 140 again (step S402). Here, the case where there is no shape change means that there is no demounting of the board in the said exchange system 1.

On the other hand, if there is a shape change, that is, the register value of the shape information for the acquired board is inconsistent with the register value acquired by the shape management unit 130 reading the shape management area 150. In this case, the shape manager 130 updates and stores the shape information of the board stored in the shape management DB 410 with the shape information of the acquired board (step S405). In this case, the shape change means that the board is unmounted in the exchange system 1.

Then, the shape management unit 130 determines whether the board which is unmounted and changed from the shape information updated and stored in the shape management DB 410 is a subscriber board or a processor board (step S406).

In this case, when the board mounted and changed in shape is a processor board, the shape manager 130 transmits the shape information stored in the shape management DB 410 to the processor state manager 440 (step S407). .

Here, the processor state management unit 440 manages the state of the processor board in the exchange system 1, manages and processes the state of the processor board by using the shape information received from the shape management unit 130, An acknowledgment signal for the processing result is transmitted to the shape manager 130.

On the other hand, when the unmounted and changed shape board is a subscriber board, the shape management unit 130 transmits the shape information stored in the shape management DB 410 to the call processing resource management unit 420 (step S408).

Here, the call processing resource manager 420 processes the call and manages the resources in the switching system 1, and manages and processes the call processing and resources by using the shape information received from the shape manager 130. The response signal for the processing result is transmitted to the shape manager 130.

Accordingly, the shape manager 130 receives a response signal from the call processing resource manager 420 (step S409), and determines whether the call processing resource manager 420 is normally processed from the response signal (step S410). ).

At this time, when the call processing resource management unit 420 is not normally processed, the shape management unit 130 restores the shape information on the board before the update in the shape management DB (410) (step S411).

On the other hand, when the call processing resource management unit 420 is normally processed, the shape management unit 130 transmits the shape information stored in the shape management DB 410 to the subscriber state management unit 430 (step S412).

Here, the subscriber state management unit 420 manages the state of the subscriber board in the switching system 1, manages and processes the state of the subscriber board using the shape information received from the shape management unit 130, The response signal for the processing result is transmitted to the shape manager 130.

Accordingly, the shape management unit 130 receives a response signal from the processor state management unit 440 or the subscriber state management unit 430 (step S413), and the processor state management unit 440 or the subscriber state from the response signal. It is determined whether the management unit 430 is normally processed (step S414).

In this case, when the processor state management unit 440 or the subscriber state management unit 430 is not normally processed, the shape management unit 130 restores the shape information of the board in the shape management DB 410 before updating. (Step S411).

On the other hand, when the processor state management unit 440 or the subscriber state management unit 430 is normally processed, the shape management unit 130 outputs the shape change to the status message window 450 (step S415).

Thus, the operator can know the shape change contents of the exchange system 1.

In addition, the embodiment according to the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned, and can be implemented by various alternatives, modifications, and changes within the scope apparent to those skilled in the art.

As described above, in the present invention, when the operator adds or deletes a shape in the exchange system, the operator merely removes the board from the position to be added or deleted, and physically changes the shape, and the shape management unit inside the exchange system. By changing the shape logically by using the shape information, it is possible to eliminate the inconvenience that the operator must add or delete the shape manually by a command to change the shape logically when the shape is physically changed.
